Mike Bordick's first (and best) game as a Met as he hits a HR in his first Met at-bat. Rick White also made his Met debut in this game and earned the win in relief thanks to a bases-loaded walk for Lenny Harris which broke a tie in the 8th. Exciting game!

Went to this game. Turned out to be the first game that Mike Bordick played for the Mets, and he hit a HR his first at-bat that was about 4 or 5 sections over from us (we sat on the 3rd base side of the field). Also Piazza hit a moon shot, Jim Edmonds made a great catch, Lenny Harris had a pinch hit single to win the game for the Mets. Good stuff. The Piazza HR was amazing, it just went up and up and up and up. There were like 3 or 4 HRs that day but Big Mike's was just unbelievable.

This was the first game I took my wife and kids to. My oldest son was 5 and the little guy was 2. Shea was filled with electricity that day, with 55,000 people chanting M-V-P whenever Piazza came up. He sure looked like an MVP that day, with a solo HR and a bases-loaded single. Mike Bordick not only homered in his 1st AB for the Mets, it was on the First Pitch of the AB!

Mike Piazza hit a monster home run one of the farthest ever hit at Shea! Mike Bordick "his first pitch as a Met and gone", "Mike Bordick welcome to New York" The words of the Fox announcers. This was a great. It was also the 1st major league game I ever went to. I was 7 then and just becoming a Met fan.
